2 Samuel 7:23 in Context — 2 Samuel 7
21 A cause de ta parole, et selon ton cœur, tu as fait toutes ces grandes choses pour les révéler à ton serviteur.
22 Que tu es donc grand, Éternel Dieu! car nul n’est semblable à toi, et il n’y a point d’autre Dieu que toi, d’après tout ce que nous avons entendu de nos oreilles.
23 Est-il sur la terre une seule nation qui soit comme ton peuple, comme Israël, que Dieu est venu racheter pour en former son peuple, pour se faire un nom et pour accomplir en sa faveur, en faveur de ton pays, des miracles et des prodiges, en chassant devant ton peuple, que tu as racheté d’Égypte, des nations et leurs dieux?
24 Tu as affermi ton peuple d’Israël, pour qu’il fût ton peuple à toujours; et toi, Éternel, tu es devenu son Dieu.
25 Maintenant, Éternel Dieu, fais subsister jusque dans l’éternité la parole que tu as prononcée sur ton serviteur et sur sa maison, et agis selon ta parole.
